BUDYONNOVSK, Russia Feb 16 (Reuters) - Lukoil,
Russia's No.2 oil producer, reacted "calmly" to the agreement
reached between world oil producers in Doha on Tuesday as the
firm planned to stabilize its oil output this year anyway, its
Chief Executive Vagit Alekperov said.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, in
reference to the deal by Russia, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and
Qatar to freeze output at January levels if other countries
joined, said: "It was not hard for us to make this commitment.
We had to raise taxes which will prevent production from
rising."
